Just as Yuan Shao and Lu Bu were playing hide and seek in Tianjing Pass, the Guanzhong army had already entered Shuofang. At the same time, Pang De led the Bei army to take Linrong along the river first, and divided the land east of the river and west of Shangjun into the territory of Guanzhong. When Guanzhong sent troops to merge with the state, it did not forget to expand the territory, and the Military Aircraft Administration of course fully supported it, so in addition to the soldiers and horses brought by the Beiyi Army, Yin Zhao, who had just arrived in Chang'an, carried out the northern expansion operation under the instruction of the Military Machinery Administration, and moved some of his miscellaneous servants and slaves from Xiqiang to this place to assimilate the local foreigners, and built a city along the river to set up Wuhai County.

However, the Beiyi army was dispatched, as a defense against Xianbei, and the threat of the Xianbei people was not immune. Considering this situation, the Military Aircraft Department ordered Xu Huang, who lived in Yanhai, to put pressure on the east at the same time, and Zhao Yun, the governor of Hanzhou, led the army north to the heavenly front. For a time, the frequent movement of soldiers and horses in Guanzhong caused a lot of momentum. The spies planted in Chang'an by the princes of all parties learned about it and hurriedly sent the news back, for fear that this was a means used by Guanzhong to confuse themselves.

However, Guanzhong's move is really just to expand the territory for the country, when Tianwang informed Long Jun of this matter, Long Jun shook his head with a smile, and several forces were all warn, it seems that the strength of Guanzhong has made the princes afraid. Long Jun then announced to the world that Guanzhong's series of actions were just to be able to hold Wuhai County.

Guanzhong's actions caused an uproar in the world, and since Emperor Guangwu, the Han Dynasty has not expanded its territory for two hundred years. Guanzhong's territorial expansion at this point in time not only increased the attachment of the people of the world, but also greatly weakened the status of the Taiyuan court in the hearts of the world. When the princes of several parties reacted, they all scolded Long Jun for his ambitions. In fact, Long Jun didn't expect this at first, but several people from the Military Aircraft Department saw it early, so there was the scene where Long Jun announced to the world.

Looking at Guo Jia's letter, Long Jun was speechless, if this can make the world come to the heart, then he can simply continue to expand northward, what kind of internal friction, anyway, with the current strength of the Guanzhong Army, unless the East and West Xianbei are combined into one, it will not be able to stop the iron cavalry of the Guanzhong Army at all. After a sneer, Long Jun put the letter aside casually and chuckled, "Feng Xiao's letter said, let's find a way to send troops to the west after capturing and annexing the four northern counties, and strive to link Shuofang to Juyanhai and expel Xianbei to the extreme north." In this way, we will not only gain prestige among the people, but also expand our army's horse farms. ”

"Are you kidding? The section south of Juyanhai to Shuofang is sandy, where can we go to expand the racecourse? Moreover, we have just finished fighting Lu Bu, so we will attack Xianbei, in case Xianbei is completely angered, how can we have a surplus army to stop Xianbei's invasion? Don't look at Ma Chao's usual giggling, belligerent constantly, but he also understands the result of angering Xianbei. Although Guanzhong has the strength to break with Xianbei, but to fight Xianbei for a piece of sand, isn't this a loss of habit to pick up sesame seeds?

As soon as Ma Chao's voice fell, Xun You, who was on the expedition with the army this time, suddenly said, "The sand is not uncontrollable, everyone, don't forget that our army has governed thousands of hectares of sand in Liangzhou." Jewel ahead, what's so difficult about this bit of sand? In addition, for nomads like Xianbei, the sandy land is basically chicken ribs, and it is a pity to abandon it if it is tasteless. I think Bonghyo means that our army will try to get this place, and if you can't get it, that's it! ”

After listening to Xun You's analysis, Long Jun nodded slowly, and then said in a deep voice, "Since this is the case, then let's get the four northern counties as soon as possible, and then kill Taiyuan and gain control of the imperial court." At the same time, let Ling Ming and Gongming join forces to attack on both sides! If Xianbei resists hard, then strike the troops and return to the station, otherwise take this place and let Yin Zhao continue to develop. ”

"Whoa." Everyone clenched their fists in response, and then left one by one, leaving only Xun Yu alone in Long Jun's tent. I've been thinking about whether to remind Long Jun of the sentence buried in my heart. Yin Zhao is in charge of the economic lifeline of Guanzhong, and in the past few years, the Military Aircraft Department has to find Yin Zhao to deal with any expenses. Although Yin Zhao has never been stuck, but this kind of position has always been held in the hands of one person, and it is inevitable that there will be a difference in the future, and Yin Zhao also concurrently serves as the head of the household department, and the two must belong to one person, what will others think?

When Xun You was considering whether to say what was in his heart, Long Jun seemed to notice Xun You's strangeness, so he smiled and asked, "What?" Gongda has something to say to me? ”

Being poked by Long Jun in his mind, Xun You took a deep breath, nodded heavily, and then replied in a deep voice, "It's about Zibo, please forgive me!" ”

"Zibo?" Hearing this, Long Jun raised his eyebrows and looked at Xun Yu with a confused face, could it be that the Military Aircraft Department had a strange idea about Yin Zhao? Then he leaned back, crossed his hands on his abdomen, and smiled, "Is it your idea or the thoughts of the people in the Military Aircraft Department?" Do you know that Zibo has followed me for more than ten years, and he is dedicated to taking care of the business for me, and it can be said that all the people in your Military Aircraft Department together are not as dedicated as one Yin Zhao? This is not yet the time when the birds are hiding their bows and the cunning rabbits are dead and the lackeys are cooking, why, now you want me to unload the mill and kill the donkey? Aren't you afraid that after I finish cleaning up Zibo, I will also clean you up in the future? ”

At this moment, although Long Jun was full of smiles, in Xun You's eyes, he was full of murderous intent. Especially what Long Jun said, it was simply a heart-wrenching word, and all five people in the General's Department were completely denied, thinking of the casual conversation with Xun Yu that day. Xun You had to insist on his own opinion, so he stubbornly explained, "I know the lord's love for his subordinates, and I also know what the lord means by this, Zibo and we have a lot of deep friendships." However, there are some things that his subordinates can't help but say, although Zibo has contributed to the foundation of Guanzhong, but an important position is always in the hands of one person, and mistakes will inevitably occur. And even the military has been implementing the transfer system, and the political officials are also transferred every two years, why is he Yin Zhao independent from everyone? ”

"That's what you mean?" Saying this, Long Jun applauded lightly, then got up and walked to Xun You's side, glanced at Xun You who bowed his head, patted the other party's shoulder, and sneered, "Although you didn't tell whether this matter was your idea alone, or the thoughts of everyone in the Military Aircraft Department." In short, before this battle is over, I hope that you Gongda Military Division can put your mind on the war first, and don't use those crooked brains, otherwise I don't mind taking the military aircraft department to rectify the rule of the officials first. ”

After speaking, Long Jun snorted coldly and walked out of the handsome tent, while Xun You was still standing there hunched over, with a straight face. When Long Jun walked along the military path to the outside of the camp, Long Jun sneered helplessly. Don't look at him just now, he was sarcastic and threatening, but he understood that Xun You and the others did not exclude dissidents. is purely worried about the loss of financial power in Guanzhong, according to Tianwang, for example, all the princes are basically wooing Yin Zhao today, and there are no less than five forces of secret agents around Yin Zhao alone.

"The birds are good and the bows are hidden, and the cunning rabbits are dead and the lackeys are cooked! Could it be that I, Long Jun, also want to be the one who waits to cross the river and tear down the bridge? Weakly muttered, Long Jun lay on the hillside outside the camp in a big shape, and then grabbed a weed and bit it in his mouth. Looking at the starry sky, he was silent, and he didn't know what was going on in his head.

At this moment, Dian Wei took a secret scroll sent by Youzhou, ran to Long Jun, and said in a deep voice, "Lord Qiqi, the second prince has sent news from the side, saying that the Blazing Sky Army has rushed to Daijun Gaoliu and is planning to attack Pingcheng along the Great Wall. Ask the lord whether to kill Xiang Lou Fu to the south to block Huaxiong's army from going south after taking Pingcheng, or to join up with the lord and attack the four northern counties! ”

Hearing Dian Wei's voice, Long Jun frowned and raised his head, and after listening to what Dian Wei said, Long Jun waved his hand impatiently, and said angrily, "Let them carry out the original plan!" Do you want to ask me about such a trivial matter? You help me reply to Long Yang and ask him if he still wants to command the army, don't you have a decision? ”

"Whoa." Feeling that Long Jun's mood was a little ungood, Dian Wei hugged his fists and retreated to the camp in a hurry. When he went to the handsome tent to look for Long Jun just now, he happened to see Xun Yu who was bowing and not moving. Although he is a sincere man, even anyone without a brain can understand what to do.

Lying on the hill for nearly an hour, Long Jun also figured it out, it is impossible for any force in the world to prevent this kind of thing from happening, as long as it does not involve party struggle, and he sincerely plans for Guanzhong, so why is he angry about this unintentional remark? So Long Jun sat up stupidly, looked in the direction of the handsome tent in the camp, and exhaled lightly. After a while, Long Jun returned to the tent and saw that Xun Yu had been doing this from beginning to end, so he asked helplessly, "If you want to stand and die here, I will collect your body at that time, but before that, can I trouble you to think about the war in the four northern counties first?" Just now, there was a letter from Longyang, saying that they and Daijun are now attacking Pingcheng. ”

As soon as Long Jun's words fell, Xun You's body that had not moved, slowly got up, looked at Long Jun who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he was originally a straight face, he suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then said softly, "Since the second prince is even Pingcheng, then Huaxiong's army will never shrink back to Taiyuan, so as long as the lord kills from Meiji into the two places of Wuyuan Yunzhong according to the original plan, and the four northern counties will be like a bag, but if the lord wants to annihilate the Southern Xiongnu, then the lord might as well kill Jiuyuan from Meiji, cut off the road to the north of the Southern Xiongnu, and wait for our army to solve Lu Bu, Let's concoct each other again. ”

Seeing that Xun You had returned to his former appearance, the corners of Long Jun's mouth twitched, and he gave Xun You a thumbs up, and then called Dian Wei and ordered him to pass on the order.

In the early morning of the second day, the 40,000 Guanzhong army waved their division to the north, and just arrived here from Shuofang, they were about to go north again, and many generals of the Guanzhong army who knew about this matter slandered Long Jun and Xun Yu many times in their hearts. However, if they understood Long Jun's next plan, they would definitely praise their master's wisdom loudly.
